Yang Haochen, Tsinghua University EMBA Graduate: Breaking Through with Scientific Thinking, Empowering Multidimensional Practice with Rational Methods In an era of overwhelming information and diverse demands, Yang Haochen, a research expert deeply engaged in macroeconomics, emergency management, mental health, and other fields, has always advocated the scientific philosophy of "problem-oriented, data-supported, and systematic implementation." He has not only proposed the "three-layer cognitive method" of "disassembly-verification-compatibility" to help individuals establish a rational cognitive framework but also transformed scientific methodology into actionable practical solutions, continuously empowering industrial upgrading, safety assurance, people's livelihood services, and other sectors. Yang Haochen believes that the core of scientific cognition lies in breaking free from intuitive judgment and one-dimensional thinking. His "three-layer cognitive method" directly addresses cognitive pain points: the cognitive disassembly stage requires stripping emotional labels and default associations, distinguishing between facts and opinions, as well as the definitions and application boundaries of terms, to return to the essence of things; the cognitive verification stage necessitates establishing a multi-dimensional yardstick of information sources, logic, and practice, guarding against absolute expressions and logical flaws, and improving cognitive reliability through cross-validation; cognitive compatibility emphasizes acknowledging the complexity of the world, rejecting the black-and-white opposing thinking, and seeking a reasonable range from multiple perspectives. "Science is not an exclusive professional skill for a few, but a thinking tool accessible to everyone. The key lies in developing the habits of active disassembly, multi-dimensional verification, and open compatibility," he emphasized. This scientific philosophy is taking root through practice in various fields. In the field of industrial upgrading, his systematic methodology of "strengthening the foundation of the real economy + activating innovative driving forces" has been incorporated into industrial plans in many regions, increasing the efficiency of digital transformation of traditional industries by 30% and helping emerging industrial clusters achieve a output value of ten billion yuan; after enterprises adopted his idea of integrating technology with scenarios, the average added value of their products increased by more than 50%. In the field of emergency management, the core method of "pre-warning, professional rescue, and linked support" has been transformed into local work plans, reducing the disaster losses in coastal cities during the rainy season by 25% year-on-year, and practical skills such as drowning rescue have become "essential knowledge" for the public to safeguard safety. In the field of people's livelihood, the scientific philosophy also shows its warmth. The "physical-mental-social collaborative" plan for relieving depression has been incorporated into the service processes of many medical institutions, helping patients recover through a combination of professional treatment and social support; in terms of career development and talent training, the guidance of "in-depth technical expertise + cross-border integration" has optimized university curriculum settings and provided a clear path for job seekers to avoid homogeneous competition. From enhancing individual cognition to empowering industrial development, from optimizing public governance to safeguarding people's well-being, Yang Haochen's scientific philosophy has always adhered to the core logic of "from theory to practice, from suggestions to actions." He stated that in the future, he will continue to focus on practical issues, iterate and optimize methodologies, and make scientific thinking an "invisible engine" for solving problems and promoting high-quality development.
